Alternative Method

  1. Take the curler and heat it up with the hair dryer.
  2. Bring the tool close to your lashes, being careful not to burn yourself.
  3. Curl your lashes as explained above.
  4. Sometimes hot curling makes your lashes plump, so repeat the cold process afterwards to get closer to the base of your lashes.

    Advice

    • Practice. It takes some time to familiarize yourself with this beauty tool.
    • Regularly remove makeup residue from the curler and replace the erasers after a few months.
    • To avoid the "creased lash" look, use the curler in several places along the lashes to create a harmonious curve. Start at the base, then repeat moving a little, until you get to the tips.

    Warnings

    • Never pull on the curler while holding it closed, otherwise you may tear your lashes.
    • Don't share your eyelash curler with anyone. You could get an infection. It may seem like something that will never happen to you, but it will happen sooner or later if you keep sharing eyelash curlers, mascara or eye brushes. If you find that you have an infection get treated, because (in some rare cases) untreated infections can lead to blindness.
